Week in Review - February 24 - March 2, 2025

First off, who moved my house shoes? 

Sigh...

You see, first thing in the morning it is still cold chilly and I need my house shoes. 

I'm a 'barefoot' gal around the house, except for in the morning. Then I kick them off as I warm up. And that's the problem. I kick them off - anywhere. With doing some major 'let me move everything in the house around', 'anywhere' is a best guess at this time. 

Anyway...

The past week or so has been focused not only on house rearranging, but also sowing seeds, dividing house plants, Goodwill shopping and a wonderful road trip with a friend. Plus some meetings.

Not only have I been in a seed sowing frenzy, but I have also fallen down the rabbit hole of filterless aquatic setups, along with studying up on hydroponics. Free styrofoam boxes from the fish store has given me the base for my hydroponics. And Goodwill yield some excellent containers to set up small filterless aquariums. 

Two jars have been set up with plants and water. I am loving the look of these aquariums and on my next 'pay-day', I'll add some shrimp to one and guppies to another. When I moved 'stuff' around the house, I'll be setting up a more traditional aquarium in a 20 gallon tank. But more on my watery adventures at a later date. 

One of my favorite Goodwill finds is a table lamp which looks old, but isn't. However, it reminds me of something very Art Deco with metal cattails around the base of the lamp. 

Did made a trip to Big Bloomers in Sanford with lunch at Mrs. Lacy's Magnolia House. I took the trip to Big Bloomers to introduce a friend to it, but also to get some herb plants for a presentation this coming Saturday. They will then be planted in my own garden afterwards. 

But another trip to Big Bloomers will be in the coming month as I am also setting up some terrariums in the near future. 

Seeds are coming along and soon things will be moving outside. Things outside are coming along nicely and I should be seeing real growth shortly. Fruit trees are looking like they will start blooming shortly. Hopefully, we are past a hard freeze and they do well and set fruit this year. 

Well...

Fun time over. Now it's back to house rearranging and seed sowing!

This coming week...

• Presentation for the Extension Master Gardeners at the library on herbs.
• House rearranging done!
• Writing!
• More seed sowing

So more coffee and onto my chore list!
